Anil Madhavapeddy, Jason Hickey, Yaron Minsky: Real World OCaml

Mar 12, 2018

Around a month ago I’ve started playing around
Reason and for understanding it better I decided to read something about OCaml
and chose Real World OCaml by Anil Madhavapeddy, Jason Hickey, and Yaron Minsky.
The book explains OCaml syntax, core library, different aspects of language and how to write
FP and OOP code in OCaml. The book has a lot of examples and easy to read, not that much
repetitive as a lot of books about programming languages.

Although before reading the book I thought that OCaml isn’t that much over-bloated and
is a better language, especially it’s syntax. It helped me to better understand
concepts and ideas behind Reason.
